Enrolling to vote while on the road

Enrolling to vote requires a residential address. This can be tricky when you are travelling or permanently on the road.

To enrol to vote you can supply a residential address you stayed at for at least one month in New Zealand. This might have been a long time ago - this is ok. You just need to have been there at some point.

You can also set-up a postal address with the NZ Elections service. This can be different to your previous (and real) residential address. Your Private Box address can be your mailing address. To be clear - you cannot use your Private Box address as your residential address.
